Yeah, duh.
Well, let me start off with saying, here at AWS, we are building the foundation for billions of agents, and that's an understatement.
So what we launched with these frontier agents is essentially a new category of agents because while so much of activity is happening in agents, they are historically being more assistance to humans.
And while we deploy it even within Amazon, across tens of thousands of developers to help with software development,
We were actually wanting to push the envelope and being able to actually do a lot more where they are actually autonomous, where you don't need humans to constantly steer them.
And they're massively scalable and they can run longer.
To be autonomous, they need to have an end goal.
That's right.
And that is the key thing here.
It's just like what these frontier agents are doing is completely transforming how software is getting done in these teams.
So much activity happens primarily in software development, but now these agentic teammates, they show up as another teammate for software development.
They pull up actually jobs from GitHub tasks and start coding and clearing backlog.
And if you're in the middle of the night actually getting paid to deal with an issue happening with your website,
This agent first takes the first page and says, oh, let me look into what's happening and unpack and then find out the root cause so that you can actually quickly resolve it and go back to bed.
Like, I've been on call and I know I could use that help.
And be proactive so that those issues don't happen.
And third is actually a security teammate.
So it shows up again.
And most of security has always been about afterthought.
